How do I successfully scrunch super straight hair so that it lasts all day?

My hair is VERY straight. Although, my avatar has curly hair just because I liked it. =D Anyhoo, how do you scrunch super straight hair without buying special gels and just using the gel I have in my bathroom cabinet?

I wouldn't use gel at all. It's too heavy, and weight is what is going to pull your hair down. What I used to do is, wash my hair fresh in the morning, but do not use a conditioner. Then towel dry my hair fairly good, and at the roots, when still damp, spray a squirt of heavy hold hairspray (this is good to add some volume). Then, when my hair is almost dry, (scrunching it while it's drying...use a diffuser) i added some ultra hold mouse. Mouse is light weight, so as it dries, it wont pull on your hair. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

When your hair is towel dried apply any gel. Apply the gel all over and then turn your head over and scrunch. Also use a little bit of hairspray. For best results blowdry hair upside down with a diffuser .

i can only think of curling it with a curling iron or with one of those foam spiral hair curlers that you can leave in all night. if you use those, then put on gel when your hair is wet and then roll your hair onto the curlers. you can probably blow dry your hair, but i'm not sure how that will work out [your hair might get SOOPER frizzy]. anyway, then you can put on some long-lasting hairspray to hold it.

or another way, you can take a little gel, take a piece of your hair [not too big], then twirl it and twist your hair and hold it there for a little bit [maybe 5 min? not sure] and you should get some twirl in your hair. you might wanna put some hairspray to hold it in too.

good luck. :]

Product is everything, g/f. You need to invest in good products to get good results. I highly recommend Redken Fresh Curls spray and Redken Guts in a tall can. You apply it to your hair when it's wet and scrunch it. Let it air dry for a bit, then flip your head upside down and use a diffuser with "fingers" on it to add volume. You may also want to finish it off with hair spray (Redken Full Force) to hold the style in longer. Good luck.
